In the café

Harish was sipping on his cappuccino as Taehyung shaked his head seeing the estranged lover look on his boss.

"...we should have at least taken her number?!!" as Taehyung kept his tea cup to hear Harish tsk at his suggestion replying "...she would not have given, even if asked...the number that she used during the guide trip...belonged to the agency...so yeah...she came like a storm...to leave like a calm breeze afters..."

Taehyung chuckled at his boss's sad lover aura, and suddenly saw the lady over the street across from their little café.

Sara.

"...*clears throat*...if my boss could glance to his left...he might find his serene beauty..." as he spelled those words, an irritated Harish glared at him but thought to follow his gaze.

It was her. His lips twitched for a smile and thought to approach her. But no.

He slumped back in his seat whispering "...she should surely pull a complaint against me...if I went over to her...*tsk*..."

"...well then...you could be rest assured that her lawyer brother-in-law can probably always lodge a case against you...*chuckle*..." as Taehyung gave him the new info about Rita aka Sara, Harish perked at him asking him to give him the clear picture.

As Taehyung revealed about Rita being her cover from Sara, living with her lawyer brother-in-law and consultant sister.

"...their names?" as a curious Harish asked him, Taehyung wide smiled finally telling it to him.

Thanks to Taehyung's comrade, Edward who willing gave off the entire detail about Abhishek and Rashmi Naik.

Harish felt the ground under him slip and closed his eyes which visioned the last spell of the arson.

'...Shri!!...Shri!!!...'

He opened his eyes with an evil smile and cracked his neck whispering "...so this is how we are going to clash...hm...interesting...let's see what you have to say when I make your sister aka my wife...mine...Mrs. Rashmi Abhishek Naik!!"

Taehyung felt now regretful on giving the fired-up Harish the details about the little hidden Naik family.

Taehyung was not privy to the entirety of the Harish-Abhishek clash, but only a glimpse of the story as retold by Namjoon to the comrades of the case during their training.

The next few days, both Sara and Abhishek were quite busy in their schedules with meeting only over dinners as supposed to staying in the same hotel. Sara would opt to dine in her room many times, with the excuse of work.

But the times she did dine with the lot in the restaurant, Abhishek was always in between the scorned ex-lovers.

On one early evening, two days to departure to Paris; Sara found some free time to shop for Rashmi, baby and Ashley.

The perfume stall in the shopping centre. As she searched for the jasmine scent liked by Ashley, Sara found the lavender spell for Rashmi.

After paying the cashier, Sara moved out to shop at the kids section.

She bought a cute overall for the baby and waited in line to pay to the cashier for her purchase.

"...thanks..." as Harish moved out of the line with his purchase, he got a glance of the clueless Sara who was ready to throw her hands at him.

But to her surprise he scoffed and moved out without stopping for any reactions from her.

After paying for the purchase, Sara was in between glancing to see if Harish had left or not.

"...Tae?...to the hotel..." as Harish handed over the shopping bags to the waiting Taehyung, Sara came running to them.

"...Mr. Joshi..." as she called him out, Taehyung saw that Harish sounded uninterested to his surprise.

"..." Harish gave her a blank look and saw that she had extended one package to him.

"...you forgot this...so yeah..." saying so Sara gave the packet to Taehyung who smiled back at her.

"...bye..." as Sara bid her bye to the poker face Harish, Taehyung asked him who smirked with a wink at the success of the first stage of his plan.

As Harish sat in the front seat, Taehyung thought about the plan that Edward had devised for the re-union of the lost lovers. He whispered with the neutral vibes that he was getting "...I hope this works...or we are back to square one, Eddy?!!"

The last day of her shot, Sara got to hear about a party arranged by the staff for the success.

She wanted to escape out of any parties, but when Teddy insisted with letting her know that one of their MDs from India had come to congratulate them on his enroute to the industrial conference held in the city.

The hotel

Sara's Hotel room

Sara checked herself for the last time and picked her sling bag to attend the party. 

Knock!

Abhishek smiled at her who let him in and told about her plan to move out of the party asap. They were supposed to leave for home the next day morning.

"...honey...this is so nice...wow!!...Rashmi would surely love it...hey what about me?..." as Abhishek checked her gifts, Sara laughed at his complaint and gave him the small packet.

"...hm..."as Abhishek looked over the size of the packet, Sara chuckled at his pout.

"...honey?!!...this is so beautiful!!...thanks dear!!..." saying so Abhishek pecked her forehead who hugged her Jiju with shedding some tears.

"...what happened, sweetie?!!...are you ok?!!" Abhishek got scared when she started to suddenly cry and backed her little with caressing her chubby cheeks.

"...I am just...just happy...that I have both you and Tai...to make me smile...everyday...thanks Jiju...for being my mentor, friend, brother...everything that I need right now..." as Sara sniffed through her broken words, Abhishek could only hug his baby sister. 

"...I am always there for my baby sister...as your shield...no one...and I mean no one...can hurt you...ok?" as Abhishek assured his protective armour to her, a teary Sara nodded and smiled hugging him tighter to get his much brotherly love.

At the reception area

"...don't forget to come back soon...and have a good night sleep...hm?" as Abhishek caressed her cheeks, a smiling Sara looked behind him to see Edward approach them in the most handsome suit looking like a gentleman that he was not.

Saranodded her head to Abhishek and went to take her cab for the party. 

With moist eyes, Edward chuckled sadly whispering "...I hope that you get your love tonight...*glancing over the exit*...don't disappoint me Harish...give the love to your Pia...that she truly deserves..." and went over to his waiting partners for the party in the top suite area of the hotel. 

At the party,

Sara looked over to find Teddy or even his assistant Mabel but it was only a sea of crowd hovering her. 

She saw the waiter approach her with drinks, she glanced over the selection and took the lemon juice type one.

"...its vodka...I don't think that should be your first drink...for a non-drinker..." his voice kind of bought a small smile on her but she hid it and turned to face him. 

A suit. A black suit. Just the black suit showing his perfect abs. His long hair being slicked back into a manbun. She gulped regaining herself from his sexy aura, asking his presence in a fashionista party to which Harish chuckled with raising his glass to the stage.

"...I was invited...so don't worry...*bend down to her face level*...I.am.not.stalking.you...ok?" saying so near to her face, Harish scoffed and crossed her confused self who tsked at his stupid musky scent invading her senses.

He smirked with admiring her white off-shoulder white ruffle dress which resembled her as the Christmas fairy, descended from heaven to bless their wretched soul. Her glittery eye, red lips and flowing soft hair – mesmerised his dead soul to embrace her.

Throughout the party Sara glanced over how Harish was totally ignoring her with chatting merrily with the guests and dignitaries. She was totally feeling a little left out at the grand party.

As the party moved to people gathering the centre stage for dance, Sara sat lonely in her chair trying to enjoy her mocktail.

"...can I join you?" as Taehyung asked the lady, Sara smiled and nodded for him to occupy the opposite chair.

As Sara talked with Taehyung knowing about his descendant from Busan and how he was recruited to be the bodyguard of the most elite billionaire of Indian descent, Mr. Joshi.

Sara then gave a brief about her photography adventure taking her to this contract and wanted to take it up as a profession rather than law which her sister wanted her to.

"...*chuckles*...believe me Ms....we can never please our family...like they want us to follow their dreams...but what about us?...don't we have the rights to do what we desire...and want?"

His words did make Sara realise that this chase for her dreams did stop her from being what she wanted to be. The constant refusal to her words, the fights and the arguments.

She clutched her sling bag tighter not listening to Taehyung who had been calling her out of her zoned-out self.

"...I...I need to ....um...excuse me..." saying so Sara rushed to the balcony, making Taehyung smile and shift his gaze to Harish who saw Sara run off to the balcony.

"...hope this works..." Taehyung was successful to spark the hidden desire that Sara wanted. Her desire to achieve her dreams, which was stopped by her strict sister.
